....... I just thought I'd pop in to buck with a current trend and wish Gareth Southgate and the England squad all of the very best ahead of the game against Slovakia tomorrow. Kick off is 17:00hrs our time and for those who are interested it's being screened on ITV1.

Spoiler alert, the commentary team is bound to contain at least one gibbering idiot who hasn't got the foggiest idea what they're on about but that's something of an occupational hazard for we the viewers these days.

In other news we're bound to play backwards sideways keep ball at some point so as the Cub Scouts would say 'be prepared'. At any given moment Gareth will undoubtedly look a little confused but fear not as this will probably be a bout of wind brought on by the need to make a tactical change.

Any road up here's to Gareth and the boys bringing home the bacon and progressing to the next round of the Euros with an impressive and entertaining win for those over in Germany and of course England supporters everywhere. For the avoidance of doubt dear old Boingy has not stolen my login details.

COME ON ENGLAND 😎 .
